The Leafs drew first blood in their Round One series against Boston, playing a near-perfect road game en route to a 4-1 victory. It was Toronto’s first Game 1 victory in a playoff series since 2003 (Eastern Conference quarter-final versus Philadelphia).
The Good
- Mitch Marner scored a pair of goals to extend his playoff point streak to seven games, dating back to 2018. After converting on a rebound in the first period during a flurry in which his team hit the post twice, Marner saved his highlight reel play for the second frame.
